I mean, I wouldn't call smut and plot mutually exclusive... But anyways, my recommendation to search more efficiently with those would be: Search on AO3 Set rating to teens and up Set fandom to My Hero Academia one (it should pop up when you start typing) Set character to Toga Himiko Click the...

Curious, agreeing with what? Like, "Humans are ugly flesh and blood", or "I would modify my morality for the only person I am attracted to", or...? --- As to the topic question... hmm. Hard to judge? I feel like it has as much if not more to who I am at the time I'm experiencing it as what I am...

...why is all my body horror dog-themed?

Don't recall, I just recall feeling done with it. There was the 'next chapter' button, and I didn't wanna click, so I didn't!

No, I meant 3rd act, as I had thought you classified it? Definitely after... Okay, back to spoilers. And I found that part way more dark/depressing than anything had happened before That Incident.

Oh, awesome! That's totally different from my experience. For me, it was actually somewhere in the 3rd act where the ongoing darkness got to me and I just felt like "okay, I think I basically get the story arc now, but it's just depressing me, and I don't need to read further", so I stopped...

People will probably complain no matter what you do, really. I'm often surprised by what I end up writing as the story evolves! And it's cool that you're writing an increasingly sci-fi story without being super familiar with the genre-- I think writing outside of genre familiarity can have...

I read it up to a certain point, and then it got too dark and hopeless and focused on fighting and death for me. The author does write very interesting characters and powers, though. Probably a bit of an influence of mine, now that I think about it.

If you think this is the issue, why not write the original intent when you first start, and reread it before you write each time? It might be a story centered around "growing past pain and living with your existential nihilism" like this won't make the most sense with a clear linear plot. If...

What are you writing? Why are you writing it? Who are you writing for/who is your target audience? Outside of knowing those, I'd agree with the above people in general.

Violent sex should probably be at least as taboo as the taboo levels of violence + sex? I wouldn't generally call consensual BDSM violent, though, yeah.

Violence should be more taboo than sex.

Okay, that's the sort of thing I wanted to know, thanks! I'd probably give it a try.

I tend to find fictional women a little less 2 dimensional than fictional men in general, which I could theorize on why at length. But in this case, NineHeadHeavenDevouringSerpent is talking about rewriting a 60% draft of a novel, so I'm like "okay, what's this going to change about the...

I guess my primary question when I read the premise is: what sorts of thing does having a Fmc rather than an Mmc change about this cultivation driven lone wolf story?

It depends what I get famous for, I guess? Like, if I get famous for writing smut, I don't think anything I did here will be that big of a deal. If I write anything else and get famous over it, I can just be like "you know, fear of writing smut is one of the things holding writers of today...

This is immediately what I thought of when I saw the thread title.

Very easily. Semi-seriously: I'm writing smut, and the reactions of my characters from four different novels take less words than your explanation of the characters and setting reacting to porn from one novel, which is -- ostensibly -- not smut. That's an impressive level of perversion on your...
